Setting up the necessary development tools

Before we can develop/code our smart contract, we need to download and install all prerequisites. At the time of writing, the Oracle Autonomous Blockchain Cloud Service uses version 1.1 of Hyperledger Fabric as its foundation. When downloading the required software, remember that it should be compatible with that version of Fabric.

When following along in this part of the chapter, you can choose to develop your contract on a Linux or Windows system. The following sections explain the installation steps required to use a Linux system, specifically Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. You can follow the Linux tutorial (https://linuxhint.com/install_ubuntu_18-04_virtualbox/) on how to install a clean VirtualBox image with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. If you prefer to develop in Windows, you can follow the steps described in the Hyperledger Fabric documentation (https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.0/getting_started.html).
